Hopefully by now you’ve had a chance to enjoy Inside Out, the latest movie by Pixar. Inside Out tells the story of the emotions inside Riley’s head, namely Fear, Sadness, Disgust, Anger, and Joy.

Pixar’s Inside Out
We all know that we convey our own emotions through our facial expressions.  And if there’s one thing we have a lot of in the CAM collection, it is portraits showing people’s faces!  We decided to use the emotions of Inside Out as our prompt for Sketching Sunday this month.  Here are some of our suggestions for each emotion—what other examples can you find in the collection?
